**THE NVIDIA DRIVERS THREAD**

I hate writing this, as I'm terrified I'll jinx myself, but I haven't yet had any issues at all with 577.00.

Are we finally climbing out of the valley of the shadow of crap Nvidia drivers?

It certainly is. Thank god for game pass.

Back on the subject of drivers, I have been on 576.80 (released June 17th) and not had any issues. Don't think i'll update until I need to for a specific game.

I think I'm on those too but apart from the sometimes garbled graphics in Starfield, I haven't had any issues with any of the 5090 drivers.

I think I will also stay put unless there is a real jump in performance on all games on a new driver.

I’ve been updating my drivers with each release and perhaps I’ve been lucky but had no issues. I’ll probably be upgrading to these new ones given they are a new branch of the 5xx driver releases
